Question

Is the essence of ubuntu only practiced by African people? Explain and give examples

Answer 1

 

Ubuntu is found in South African philosophy and is related to interconnectedness. This indigenous concept is the sole value of group diversity and the African life concept. The essence of Ubuntu is not only embraced by the African people but also by other countries, including the United States education system. For example, a university like Duke University has a selective group that is named Ubuntu. Also, presidents such as Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama encouraged the practice of Ubuntu by United States citizens.
